People take new jobs and it's not about money?  Really ?  Sorry I must be missing something.

This is why I am hopeful Bob that we could get a great coach if we are willing to spend. However, I think it will take more money, and more guaranteed years to make it happen. It will certainly take more resources than we are currently committing. However, Bernard owes it to the players to aim higher than the status quo.

Agreed, and I particularly want to echo (and add an exclamation point to) your ending statement, Bernard owes it to the players to aim higher than the status quo!

Separately, d, you mentioned an injury sustained by Horeczko in an earlier post. Might you have any info re: expected time of her return to the lineup? (The tandem of .053 and .083 hitters Hanson has used in LF the past couple of series is a questionable concern. Although she has been going to pinch hitters in the later innings with greater frequency lately, even then the first at-bat or two (contributed by the two singles in 31 at-bats pair) has proven to be an almost certain out (pardon my redundancy), and the productivity at the plate of any particular PH is likely a bit less than it would be were the player used in that role able to enjoy the advantage of developing a "playing time" rhythm as, I presume, the regulars generally do--how about playing one (or more) of them full-time in LF until Horeczko returns?)

Also, d, would you happen to know the story on Maya Jackson? I don't believe I have seen her name in print since the preseason roster came out.
